Does the post office print documents?

• Mailing services (stamps, packages, Certified Mail, etc.)
• PO boxes
• Passport services (some locations)
• Money orders
• Shipping supplies (boxes, envelopes)

What they don't typically have:

• Printers for public use
• Copy machines
• Document scanning

Some larger post offices or postal retail annexes might have self-service kiosks, but these are for printing shipping labels, not your documents.

Office supply stores
Staples, Office Depot, and FedEx Office have self-service printers and full-service printing. Costs vary but expect $0.15–$0.50 per page for basic printing.

Shipping and pack stores
The UPS Store and similar businesses offer printing. Many are located near post offices or in the same shopping centers.

Libraries
Most public libraries have computers and printers available. Printing is often free or very cheap (around $0.10–$0.15 per page). You may need a library card.

University and college campuses
If you're a student or have campus access, school computer labs typically have printers.

Hotels and coworking spaces
Many hotel business centers have printers for guests. Coworking spaces like WeWork have printing included.

Friends, family, or work
The cheapest option if someone you know has a printer and doesn't mind.

When you need to print and mail a document:

1. Go somewhere to print the document
2. Find an envelope
3. Find stamps (or go to the post office)
4. Address the envelope
5. Find a mailbox or post office to drop it off

This is doable but time-consuming, especially if you're in an unfamiliar area or don't have supplies.

PostalForm handles both printing and mailing in one step.

Upload a PDF → We print it → We put it in an envelope → We add postage → USPS delivers it

No printer, no envelope, no stamps, no second trip.

Print and mail my document

DIY approach:

• Printing at a store: ~$0.15–$0.50 per page
• Envelope: ~$0.10–$0.50
• Stamp: $0.73
• Your time and transportation

PostalForm:

• $3.00 base + $0.20 per page (B&W)
• Postage included
• No additional trips

For a single-page document, DIY is cheaper if you already have supplies or free printing access. For convenience, especially when traveling or short on time, online printing + mailing often wins.
